E3 2013 predictions and winner of the show

The E3 2013 expo is only a few months away now and will be held on June 11-13 at the Los Angelas Convention Center. Now with Sony playing their cards early before the E3 event I think it is a great time to make a prediction on what to expect including the ‘winner of the show’.

Sony E3 2013 Press Conference Prediction

As we have seen the PS4 already officially revealed at the Sony Event this February; I believe Sony has a lot more to show when E3 comes around!

PS Vita new firmware update. This will be used to enhance functionality and communicate with the newly announced PS4

Xbox Live Silver users can play for free with advertising and Xbox Live Gold users will benefit from free monthly content and no advertising.

Kinect 2.0 will be included as standard and has become more advanced. More responsive, will always be active, up to 6 players, wider angle, no tilt, low light functionality, easier to play even with furniture around.

Halo, Forza, Project Gotham Racing and various other launch titles

New Xbox console design show off

Nintendo E3 2013 Press Conference Prediction

3DS games announcements – New Mario, various 3rd party games

Wii U games announcement – Mario 3D, Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid Prime and other 3rd party games including Call of Duty

Boring social Nintendo stuff, statistics and so on.

Super Smash Bros 3DS announcement

End of show… Oh wait Super Smash Bros Wii U announcement

Winner of E3 2013

I think this will be a close one between Sony and Microsoft (as it is every year) especially as Nintendo have gone very casual on us gamers. This could all go down to a surprise announcement on either side that I haven’t stated in my list. But going by my list I will have to give the crown to Sony! Although E3 is definitely up for grabs and it is a 2 horse race!

What do you think will happen this E3? Let us know in the comments below! Also what do you think the next Xbox will be called? I have no idea whatsoever would love to see some creativity!

If Smash bros is there, almost wont care. Got WiiU already. Get Battle field 4 on PC probably.
Price points will be very interesting for Sony n M’soft.. Will see how they cruise, even at $500 odd dolkars. That will still be a massive hit to the companies financially

I cannot see Sony holding off the PS4 release until 2014, even for Europe. It’s not going to be as difficult to source PS4 components as it was for PS3 components back when Cell and Blu-Ray was new tech.

I would also predict that the PS4 SKU’s will at least match the current PS3 SKU’s in terms of HDD capacity – that means 250GB and 500GB. I hope they will stay upgradable, since I love having a 1TB drive in my PS3. 🙂

Regarding PlayStation Plus: I think Sony may launch a new service specifically for PlayStation 4. To be honest, I was surprised when they announced that the existing Plus subscription would cover Vita.

However, adding PS4 as a third system to the same Plus subscription would mean even more additional expense to them, whilst existing subscribers are not paying anything extra to get the service on the extra platform.

Assuming they do this, I would expect that they might set it up so you can subscribe to both services at a discount, say $50/year for Plus, $50/year for PS4 services or $75/year for both.
